P-229/P-230

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK

■ Read all instructions.

■ Do not touch hot surfaces.

Use handles or knobs.

■ Do not place cord, plugs, or

brewer in water or liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary

when the brewer is used by or

near children.

■ Unplug from outlet when not

in use and before cleaning.

Allow to cool before putting

on or taking off parts, and

before cleaning.

■ Do not operate the brewer

with a damaged cord or plug

or after the brewer malfunc-

tions, or has been damaged in

any manner. Return the

brewer to an Authorized

Service Facility for

examination, adjustment, or

repair. (Refer to page 11.)

■ The use of an accessory not

evaluated for use with this

brewer may cause injuries.

■ For household use only. Do

not use outdoors.

■ Do not let cord hang over edge

of table or counter, or touch

hot surfaces.

■ Do not place the brewer on or

near a hot gas or electric

burner, or in a heated oven.

■ Do not use brewer for other

than its intended use.

■ Do not place or remove

funnel, decanter, or decanter

lid while brewing.

■ The decanter is designed for

use with this brewer. It must

never be used on a range top

or in a microwave.

■ Do not set a hot decanter on a

cold surface.

■ Do not use a cracked decanter

or a decanter having a loose or

weakened handle.

■ Do not clean decanter with

cleansers, steel wool pads, or

other abrasive materials.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled-in or tripping-over a longer cord.

■ If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the

extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of

the brewer and the cord should be arranged so that it will not hang

over edge of table or counter where it can be pulled on by children

or tripped over.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE - THE BREWER IS NOT READY TO PLUG-IN

Improper installation will result in permanent damage and void the

limited warranty. Read & follow the instructions on the next page.

■ This brewer is designed to remain plugged-in at all times

(except during initial installation or when cleaning).

■ A vacation switch is provided on the lower left side to completely

shut-off all electrical components when your plans take you away

from home for three or more days. Safety features, designed into the

BUNN

coffee brewer, make the daily use of this switch unnecessary.

■ Whenever the brewer has been shut-off or unplugged, fill the tank

with water and allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper

temperature before using (about fifteen minutes or until the heating

sound stops).

■ Your BUNN coffee brewer has a specially designed tank to keep the

water at the proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water

assures the correct method of brewing coffee, in less than three

minutes.

■ The brewed coffee flows into the decanter where it is kept at

serving temperature on the porcelain decanter warmer. The warmer

is controlled by the lighted on/off switch on the front of the brewer.

NOTE- The warmer switch only controls the decanter warmer.

■ While coffee is being brewed, the newest water in the tank is heated

to the proper temperature and held until needed.

■ The decanter lid reduces coffee evaporation and temperature loss.

■ Hot water, approximately 50°F hotter than that available from your

hot water faucet, is always available for other uses.

■ The brewer is equipped with a polarized cordset. One blade of the

plug is slightly larger than the other. This is a safety feature and

allows the plug to fit into the outlet only one way. If you are unable

to insert the plug into the outlet, try turning it over. If the plug still

does not fit, contact an electrician to update your outlet. Do not

attempt to bypass the safety aspect of this polarized plug.

■ The sprayhead will periodically become loose. Using extreme

caution not to burn yourself, retighten the sprayhead with your

finger tips.

NOTE- A severe burn may result if the sprayhead becomes

loose and falls off while brewing.

PREPARING THE BREWER FOR USE

NOTE - THE BREWER IS NOT READY TO PLUG-IN.

Raise the hinged flip-lid.

Close the lid and plug-in the brewer.

Slide an empty brew funnel into the brewer under

the warmer switch and place an empty decanter on the

warmer. Pour two pitchers of water (filled to the 48 oz

line) into the screened area on top of the brewer. Wait

two minutes between pitchers to allow the water to fill

the tank. When the tank is full, some water will flow

through the funnel and into the decanter.

Press the bottom of the vacation switch, located on the

lower left side of the brewer, to the "ON" position.

The vacation switch controls power to the tank heater.

Initially you will have to wait approximately fifteen

minutes in order for the water to reach brew

temperature.

Empty any water that has collected in the decanter.

You’re not done yet! The next page leads you through the five

easy steps to ‘BREWING DELICIOUS COFFEE’

BREWING DELICIOUS COFFEE

Insert a BUNN

coffee filter into the brew funnel.

(Be sure to use BUNN coffee filters for proper

brewing. There is a difference.)

Measure coffee into the filter and gently shake

to level the bed of grounds.

Make sure that the sprayhead is tight. Slide the brew

funnel into the brewer under the warmer switch. Snap

the decanter cover on the empty decanter and place

the decanter on the warmer beneath the brew funnel.

Place the lighted warmer switch in the "ON" position.

Raise the hinged flip-lid and pour water into the top

of the brewer. The water pitcher, supplied, will yield

approximately eight 6 ounce cups of brewed coffee

when filled to the 48 oz line. Your BUNN Pour-Omatic

will begin brewing coffee immediately.

P-206

P-205

P-216

P-196

P-215

When brewing has stopped, remove the brew funnel

and discard the filter and grounds. Do not touch hot

grounds.

HOT WATER

The same basic steps can be used to obtain hot water by omitting the filter and

coffee. The water from your BUNN coffee brewer is approximately 200° F. This

is hotter than the hot water from your faucet and must be handled with care.

COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both

require a good recipe. Proper coffee making needs quality equipment to

precisely control water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN

coffee brewer assures consistency in your recipe by controlling all of

these elements. The only variables remaining in the recipe are the grind

and amount of coffee used.

The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind.

For best results, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.

Hot water extracts many elements from the ground coffee, some

desirable, some not. The taste and aroma are referred-to as strength, the

acidity as bitterness. Increasing the amount of ground coffee results in a

stronger beverage, and decreasing it results in a weaker beverage.

As the amount of ground coffee decreases, you'll note an increase in

the bitterness of the beverage. This happens because the hot water

begins to remove the undesirable elements such as acidity after all of the

desirable tastes and aroma have been removed.

Fresh ground coffee gives the best results. Always store the ground

coffee in a cool, dry area away from other food items with strong odors.

When stored in a refrigerator, keep it in an airtight container.

BREWING TIPS

When properly brewed, the difference between the best quality

ground coffee and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic.

Proper brewing requires little effort with the BUNN

coffee brewer.

You'll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1) Always start with clean equipment.

2) Always use fresh cold water.

3) Always use BUNN paper coffee filters for proper extraction.

4) Using 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot (48 oz) will

give you a consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied flavor

and aroma. However, the real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the

recipe until it suits you. If you need to make a smaller batch,

experiment with less water and ground coffee.

5) Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting

the decanter on the porcelain warmer. For the freshest flavor, don't

keep brewed coffee for longer than an hour.

DECANTER HANDLE MAINTENANCE

Using a phillips screw driver, periodically tighten the screw in the handle.

ROUTINE CLEANING

Rinsing the brew funnel and decanter after each

use is the only routine cleaning required. Occasionally,

wipe the outside of the brewer including the area

above the funnel with a damp cloth. (The brew

funnel and decanter are top-rack dishwasher safe.)

DELIMING

Periodically, you should delime the brewer to clear any deposits that may

have accumulated due to impurities in the water source.

NOTE- Unplug the brewer before deliming.

1) Unscrew the sprayhead with your fingertips and set it

aside.

2) Insert all but two inches of the flexible deliming spring

probe (supplied) through the sprayhead opening.

3) Slide the tool in-and-out five or six times to loosen

mineral deposits collected in the sprayhead tube.

Remove it and set it aside.

4) Check the holes in the sprayhead for mineral deposits.

These may be cleared by using a toothpick. Rinse the

sprayhead with water before reinstalling.

5) Plug-in the brewer and allow the water in the tank to

reheat before using. The frequency of

deliming depends on the mineral

content of your water.

HARD WATER

(Recommended At Least Every Three Months In Hard Water Areas.)

1) Unplug the brewer.

2) Slide an empty brew funnel into the brewer under the warmer switch and

center an empty decanter on the warmer.

3) Pour one quart of white vinegar into the top of the brewer.

4) Empty the decanter when liquid stops flowing from the funnel.

5) Plug-in the brewer and let it set for two hours.

6) Drain all water and loosened sediment from the brewer by following steps 1-

5 of the draining procedure on the next page, then return to step 7, below.

Return to this point after draining, to complete the deliming process.

7) Pour three pitchers of fresh, cold water into the top of the brewer. Empty the

decanter between pitchers.

8) Taste the water coming out of the brewer. Pour additional pitchers of fresh,

cold water into the brewer as needed until the water has no vinegar taste.

9) Plug-in the brewer and allow the water in the tank to reach brewing

temperature before using. (approximately 15 minutes.)

WATER QUALITY

Install a water conditioner if your water contains excessive amounts of

sediment, taste, or odors.

SOFTENED WATER / DECAFFEINATED COFFEE

BUNN

coffee brewers will brew a perfect decanter of coffee when used

with unsoftened tap water and regular coffee. If there's a noticeable difference

when using softened water and/or decaffeinated coffee, telephone or write

us to request a special sprayhead and use a coarser grind of coffee.

DRAINING THE BREWER

The water in your BUNN

Coffee Brewer should be emptied whenever it

is taken on a trip, shipped, or stored in an unheated location with a chance

of freezing. Follow these steps to safely drain your brewer.

1) Unplug the brewer.

2) Cool the water in the tank by sliding an empty brew

funnel into the brewer under the warmer switch and

centering an empty decanter on the warmer. Pour a full

pitcher of cold water into the top of the brewer. Wait for

the water to stop flowing from the funnel and empty the

decanter. Repeat with a second pitcher of water.

3) Remove the sprayhead by turning it counterclockwise

with your fingertips and set it aside.

4) Grasp the back of the brewer and quickly turn it upside

down over a sink as shown. Most of the water in the tank

will flow from the sprayhead opening but some water

may flow from the area around the top lid. Continue

tipping the brewer until the flow of water stops.

5) Reinstall the sprayhead when all water has drained from the brewer. Securely

tighten it by turning it clockwise

NOTE - Refer to page 6, “PREPARING THE BREWER FOR USE” before using.
